The car park at the start is located on the access road to Fort du Lomont, near the Lomont monument dedicated to the Resistance.
(S/E) Head west along the GR® (Yellow Rectangles and Blue Rectangles) on a long, mostly straight, stony path running alongside the woodland. After a series of S-bends, take the time to make a short detour to the Square Tower, situated a few metres above the path. An information panel recounts the history of this site of battle.
(1) Continue along this stony path (without following theGR® which heads into the forest below on the right-hand side) until you reach the first hairpin bend to the right.
(2) Then turn left onto a path which, after a short climb, leads to the edge of the Falaise des Roches (a climbing site). Head off to the right, following the edge of the ridge to the Fort des Roches. Access to the fort is free and the views over the valley are truly stunning.
(3) On your way out, cross a car park and rejoin theGR® you left earlier. Head down to the left along a winding road. You can choose between the road or theGR®, which cuts across the hairpin bends.
When theGR® rejoins and follows the road round a left-hand bend, turn right (due east) onto a path through the undergrowth which leads out into a field. Cross this field to a farm track. Follow this track uphill, passing a farmhouse at a place called "Brûle-Fer".
(4) Continue along the edge of the forest on your left until you are below the Brise-Poutot farms.
(5) Take a forest track that descends to the left and follow it to a junction. Continue to the right and follow a forest track that climbs gradually due east, rejoining a tarmac surface and merging with the GR® (Yellow Rectangles and Blue Rectangles) until a fairly sharp left-hand bend. Leave the road and follow theGR® which climbs into the forest on your right for about a hundred metres. You will arrive at the barn in the hamlet of Russenot.
(6) Return to the road and follow it uphill, still on theGR®. Just before leaving the wooded area, turn left onto theGR®, which climbs steeply to a fairly busy road where caution is advised.
(7) Follow the road uphill for a few metres until you reach a left-hand bend, where you should head towards the meadow. Before the fenced edge, turn left and continue uphill until you reach a cross-path.
Leave theGR® and climb up to the left along the hillside above the road you left earlier, which you will rejoin further on. At this road, continue to the left to reach the nearby Monument du Lomont, erected in memory of the Lomont resistance fighters.
(8) Turn back to return to the starting car park (S/E).
